New EmploymentCrossing.com Report Says Jobs are Harder to Find Online

Department of Labor Unemployment Figures May Be Dramatically up
but Real Issue is Jobs Are Now Distributed to So Many Websites People
Cannot Find Them Anymore According to EmploymentCrossing.com
PASADENA, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
A. Harrison Barnes, the CEO of EmploymentCrossing.com, a website
that consolidates jobs on its site from employer websites and other
job boards, says there is not a crisis in the employment market as
reported by the Department of Labor on Friday. Instead, Barnes
believes jobs are getting harder to find because they are moving so
rapidly away from local newspapers to the web--to so many websites
that job seekers can no longer find the jobs that are available.

"The jobs are disbursed among too many websites," says Barnes. "It
used to be you could pick up one or maybe two local newspapers when
looking for a job. Now you need access to the web and most job seekers
are visiting only a few sites when searching for a job. We visit over
10,000 websites a day to find jobs for our site. There are jobs out
there for everyone. Not surprisingly, the job losses being reported by
the Labor Department are also largely confined to professions like
manufacturing where people do not have access to the web."

According to Barnes, people looking for a job simply cannot find
the openings out there. With over 10,000 job sites and even more
employer career pages, Barnes believes that the jobs out there are
distributed to so many sites that it is getting harder for people to
find jobs.

Barnes believes that his EmploymentCrossing.com site is "a good
first step" towards solving this problem because it consolidates every
job it can find. In addition, EmploymentCrossing.com is a research
company and does not charge employers to post jobs--all it does is
research jobs.

"EmploymentCrossing's business model is to do nothing but
consolidate every single job on our site. I view the number of
Internet sites out there with jobs on them as a crisis and job seekers
should too," says Barnes.
